Kompetenzbereich (Area) Empirical Economics and Econometrics

• Seminar Empirical Research (373017)

  	Termine:	Lehrpersonen:
  	Blockveranstaltung	Gassebner
  Inhalt:	The seminar will allow students to gain experience in drafting an empirical research paper and presenting its findings.

• Applied Economic History (373026)

  	Termine:	Lehrpersonen:
  	Mi. 14:30 - 16:00 | I-063	Korn
  Inhalt:	This course covers the recent scientific findings on how our current economic system developed. Special emphasis will be given on the econometric tools used by the researchers to plausibly identify causal historical economic linkages. The goal of the course is to give students a better understanding of the econometric methods and data sources used to investigate the (long run) effects of significant historical events. The course will cover both Cliometrics (the analysis of past economic relationships with the modern econometric toolkit) as well as persistent studies (identifying the effect past events have on today's differences in economic activity).

  Bemerkungen:	Students are expected to use the statistical program R during the course. The complementary tutorials are meant to teach the basics of applying R to answer empirical historical questions. Prior knowledge in econometrics and using R is not mandatory but recommended. The final grade will mainly be determined by a final exam. Students have the possibility to collect bonus points via a replication exercise of recently published research papers.

• International Economics (272021)

  	Termine:	Lehrpersonen:
  	Do. 14:30 - 16:00 | I-063	Gnutzmann-Mkrtchyan
  Inhalt:	This course covers both the theory of international trade and its practice as revealed by empirical research. We first discuss the seminal works of trade theory – from the Ricardian model to modern theories with imperfect competition – and examine their empirical predictions. Building on this foundation, we discuss current empirical work on international trade, including the gravity model and approaches using firms data. We also explore the contribution of data visualization technique to improving understanding of trade.

  	Termine:	Lehrpersonen:
  	Do. 09:15 - 10:45 | I-063	Wichert
  Inhalt:	„Warum sind manche Länder so arm, und andere Länder so reich?“ Dieser Kurs behandelt fundamentale Fragen in der Wachstums- und Wirtschaftstheorie. Im Mittelpunkt steht die Frage nach Wohlstand und Armut von Nationen. Wir beginnen mit der Feststellung, dass sich die Länder dieser Welt seit der industriellen Revolution sehr verschieden entwickeln - „the great divergence“. Im Schwerpunktteil (Teil 1) des Kurses betrachten wir unmittelbare Ursachen des langfristigen Wirtschaftswachstums, z.B. Kapital und technischer Fortschritt. Außerdem untersuchen wir Modelle die langfristiges und super-langfristiges Wachstum verbinden, sodass ein demografischer Übergang und eine industrielle Revolution passieren. Im zweiten Teil des Kurses untersuchen wir die ultimativen Ursachen des Wirtschaftswachstums, unter anderem analysieren wir den Einfluss von politischen Institutionen, ethnischer Vielfalt und geographischen Faktoren auf das langfristige Wirtschaftswachstum. Die Studierenden erhalten somit einen ersten Überblick über die Antworten, welche die moderne Wachstumstheorie bietet.

  	Termine:	Lehrpersonen:
  	Blockveranstaltung	Gassebner
  Inhalt:	The seminar will include two conceptual sessions, providing detailed instructions and help students get started on their project, and a block seminar in which students will present their seminar papers and discuss the work of their peers. We will discuss several data sources that students can use in their own applied research. The tools acquired in this seminar are supposed to equip students with the skill set to answer their own research questions and prepare them to write a Master thesis in applied economics.
  Bemerkungen:	Registration via email to Prof. Dr. Gassebner (deadline April 14, 20). A list of topics is provided on the institute's web site. Note that there is an accompanying mandatory tutorial that will help the student to set up their own empirical research project. Please consult the institute's webpage for further details.

• International Econometrics (379052)

  	Termine:	Lehrpersonen:
  	Di. 11:00 - 12:30 | Synchrone Online-Lehre	Hock
  Inhalt:	The course “International Econometrics” shall enable students to understand why nations trade, what they trade and the consequences of trade policies. Students will be provided with the necessary theoretical background in international trade and a toolbox to conduct economic analyses. Important trade theories such as the Ricardian trade model or the Melitz model will be discussed, and specifically for empirical analysis purposes inter alia the gravity model of international trade will be introduced. Biweekly tutorials will guide students through assignments in R (RStudio)/STATA with the goal of reaching a solid software knowledge by the end of this course. Within RStudio/STATA descriptive and empirical analyses will be conducted and interpreted using real world data. Throughout the entire course, students are strongly encouraged to solve problem sets by coding themselves, discussing problems in the Forum on Stud.IP and/or contacting the lecturer (email/appointment). One presentation of a scientific paper per student will prepare students for the oral exam. A ”switch-on-your-camera” (if in rare cases no camera is available, a “join-with-microphone”) policy exists as a courtesy to the lecturer and creating an inviting, interactive environment.
  Bemerkungen:	No previous coding knowledge is required. Econometric and microeconomic knowledge is required.
